EAGLE07 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 Todd Wallace-West BrookCasey Jackson--Bridge CityCarnahan-PNGPonder-BH
Guest Orangeboy Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 If you just look it at offense, it is hard to top BC's Jackson.
lc1970 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 Defensively, Stefan Leger (LC-M). Kid has all the tools. Suffered knee injury during football. Hope he is OK.
Guest Sangster05 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 PNGs duo of catchers, Carnahan (sr) and Sangster (jr), are pretty tough.
Guest edowd Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 Landon Steinhagen at Kelly. He is 6'1", 205, has a pop time under 2, runs a 7 flat 60, hits with power.
Terrier Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 I hate to hear about Lege's injury. He is a solid catcher. I had the opportunity to watch Sangster this summer with the 16 year old Babe Ruth Allstars. You would be hard pressed to find a better defensive catcher. He also handles a pitching staff well. He called almost all the pitches of every game during that All Star run to the World Series final.
Jasperfan Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 If you just look it at offense, it is hard to top BC's Jackson.I have to agree. His defensive skills aren't as good as some, but the kid sure can hit.
TXBaseball Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 Landon Steinhagen at Kelly. He is 6'1", 205, has a pop time under 2, runs a 7 flat 60, hits with power. I have to ditto this one. He is one fun kid to watch!
aTm_1989 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 Is Cody Hussey still catching for Lumberton? I have not seen him play in a few years. But he is a great defensive catcher and has a strong arm.
BH Warthog Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 Ponder has not had much time behind the plate, but he will be fine
EAGLE07 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 Ponder hasn't had much time behind the plate on the varsity level..backing up Campbell..but he has caught his entire life. I agree he will do just fine. Spoke with him on Sunday, he's ready for baseball.
bulldog16 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 Jacob Felts-Orangefield; Only a sophomore and will get better
adminbaberuth Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 Carnahan and Wallace are very good varsity catchers with experience both on the defensive and offensive side. Jackson of BC can hit with the above guys.Leger of LCM will shine, Sangster from PNG can play for almost anyone but he has Carnahan in front. Coach Stone has a nice problem. If you could order a catcher, Felts of OF would come out of the oven.Bearden of HF will make some noise this year, along with Terracino of Nederland.
East TX Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 Casey Jackson could prove to be the best catcher in the state this year. Look for Jacob Felts of Orangefield to be the next premium player at catcher, as time progresses.
Guest etbu Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 Tommy Henk from Huffman needs to work on his hitting but as a reciever one of the best.
Guest Bulldog Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 Landon Steinhagen at Kelly. He is 6'1", 205, has a pop time under 2, runs a 7 flat 60, hits with power. He's by far the best...i know from experience...Felts is gonna be a great one too.....

POOLAID Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 Jackson needs to learn how to throw a ball to first base first before he can be considered for anything......What makes you such an expert???
Terrier Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 If you are going to rate catchers, defense has to be the number one criteria they are judged by. Just because a guy can hit doesn't make him a great catcher. If all he can do is hit he might as well be a DH.

Guest Bulldog Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 What makes you such an expert???First hand experience........
cleanup13 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Posted November 17, 2007 We are blessed to have so many good catchers in SE TexasBest Defensively and Offensively in 22 4ACarnahan - PNGTodd - WestbrookJackson (I think Casey would be a better DH- he is awesome with the bat but has trouble with his throws and blocksIMO
